Craft Spirits Magazine reported on Wednesday that Ironton Distillery & Crafthouse, a Colorado craft spirits brand, is switching cities. The brand is leaving its Denver base to create a “state-of-the-art” facility in Louisville, Colorado.
“Since our inception, Ironton has prided itself on creating rich, authentic connections to the state of Colorado from our exclusive use of local grains to our support of local artists, non-profits and community organization,” Ironton Distillery co-founder Kallyn Romero said, according to Crafts Spirits magazine. “We are so thrilled to join the Louisville community and to add another great gathering place for families and residents to foster meaningful connection.”
The 2-acre property is set to include private event rooms and a larger tasting room, and allow the brand to produce and age its whiskey “under one roof.”
Individuals will be able to taste the brand’s whiskeys in style on the distillery’s rooftop deck or outdoor patio. Ironton is additionally building a pub with bites so distillery fans can relax and enjoy a meal while enjoying the brand’s offerings.
Ironton chose to move from Denver because the newer facility would enable the brand to produce its whiskeys in one location, according to Craft Spirits Magazine. The brand also expressed it would consider implementing sustainable practices like heat transfer and solar technology.
